Songs for psychopaths?

[Stellaria_graminea]

More Pink Floyd, On the turning away. It's more about the victims of psychopathy and the surrounding world, I think.

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Another Bob Dylan song - this one in defence of a psychopathic state. I think the title is meant to be ironic, but it does accurately describe this middle- east country to a tee. Dylan certainly showed where his sympathies lie with this song.

Neighborhood Bully

Well, the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man
His enemies say he’s on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He’s the neighborhood bully

The neighborhood bully just lives to survive
He’s criticized and condemned for being alive
He’s not supposed to fight back, he’s supposed to have thick skin
He’s supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He’s the neighborhood bully

The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He’s wandered the earth an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn
He’s always on trial for just being born
He’s the neighborhood bully

Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
He’s the neighborhood bully

Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he’ll live by the rules that the world makes for him
’Cause there’s a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac
He’s the neighborhood bully

He got no allies to really speak of
What he gets he must pay for, he don’t get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won’t be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He’s the neighborhood bully

Well, he’s surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now, they wouldn’t hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He’s the neighborhood bully

Every empire that’s enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He’s made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no one’s command
He’s the neighborhood bully

Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He’s the neighborhood bully

What’s anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin’, they say. He just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
He’s the neighborhood bully

What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers? Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still
Neighborhood bully.

I think of a psychopath when I hear this song.

A Perfect Circle: The Package

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqJJwv_Caaw


Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I am what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
'Till you think I'm listening
I take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Peripheral long the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for, then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine

I am what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile to get what's mine

Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie to smile and get what's mine

Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Give this to me

Take what's mine, take what's mine, mine...
Take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine,
This is mine, mine, mine (whispered)

What is the greatest lie of all time?

The greatest lie of all time is the idea that governments are established to protect their citizens from violent predators, foreign and domestic. In truth, governments are instituted by violent predators to cement their rule over those they have subjugated and intend to plunder on a continuing basis. Every time people rise up and throw out the villains, all the smart villains scramble to find places in the new "reformed" government and take up looting where the last batch left off.

There are only three ways to get something you want from other people: you can trade, you can beg, or you can steal. "Government" is not a fourth way. Murder (war), theft (taxes), injustice, corruption and oppression are not occasional lapses by government, but its naked essence.

I LOL'd at "Government is not the fourth way!" Thanks for sharing this article, c.a.!

Here's a straightforward example -


Paradise Lost: Perfect Mask



I live behind the perfect mask
Erase the rule forever

I live behind the perfect mask
Unleash the truth forever

I live behind the perfect mask
Too late gonna live at last

I live behind the perfect mask
Too late gonna live at last

I live behind the perfect mask
Erase the truth forever

I live behind the perfect mask
Only the true endevour

Help me…. I dare say there's no other way
Help me…. I dare say there's no other way to go

Wanton fallacy again
Merciless until the end
Recognise my heart is there
So reveal me and disgrace me

Quotes: Arms Dealer

You get rich by giving the poorest people on the planet the means to continue killing each other. Do you know why I do what I do? I mean, there are more prestigous assignments. Keeping track of nuclear arsenals. You'd think that more critical to world security. But, it's not. No. Nine out of ten war victims today are killed with assault rifles and small arms. Like yours. Those nuclear missiles, they're sitting in their silos. Your AK-47, that is the real weapon of mass destruction.
— Agent Valentine, Lord of War

Gun ownership
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States

The General Social Survey (GSS) is a primary source for data on firearm ownership, with surveys periodically done by other organizations such as Harris Interactive.[56] In 2004, 36.5% of Americans reported having a gun in their home and in 1997, 40% of Americans reported having a gun in their homes. At this time there were approximately 44 million gun owners in the United States. This means that 25 percent of all adults owned at least one firearm. These owners possessed 192 million firearms, of which 65 million were handguns.[57] The number of American homes reporting have a gun in their homes is down from 46% as reported in 1989.[58] Philip J. Cook suggests that increased numbers of female-headed households may be a factor in declining household ownership figures.[21] A National Survey on Private Ownership and Use of Firearms (NSPOF), conducted in 1994, indicates that Americans own 192 million guns, with 36% of these consisting of rifles, 34% handguns, 26% shotguns, and 4% of other types of long guns.[59] Most firearm owners own multiple firearms, with the NSPOF survey indicating 25% of adults own firearms.[59] In the United States, 11% of households report actively being involved in hunting,[58] with the remaining firearm owners having guns for self-protection and other reasons. Throughout the 1970s and much of the 1980s, the rate of gun ownership in the home ranged from 45-50%.[58] Gun ownership also varies across geographic regions, ranging from 25% rates of ownership in the Northeastern United States to 60% rates of ownership in the East South Central States.[60] The GSS survey and other proxy measures of gun ownership do not provide adequate macro-level detail to allow conclusions on the relationship between overall firearm ownership and gun violence.[21] Criminologist Gary Kleck compared various survey and proxy measures and found no correlation between overall firearm ownership and gun violence Yeah Right!

[Renaissance]

I think this one is more about a ponerized and asleep world than actual psychopaths, but I think it's pretty interesting (plus Andrew Bird's music is just beautiful, imo)


Andrew Bird "Oh No"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upqcu2DWK8g

In the salsify mains
of what was thoughtful and sad
all the calcified arhythmatists
were doing the math.

And it would take a calculated
blow to the head to
blind the eyes of all the harmless
sociopaths. Oh

Arm in Arm we are the harmless
sociopaths. Oh
arm in arm with all the harmless
sociopaths

Calcium mines you buried
deep in your chest. Oh the
calcium mines you buried
deep in your chest.

Hoo-oo-oo
you're deep in a mine,
hoo-oo-oo
a calcium mine
o-o-oh.

Let's get out of here
past the atmosphere,
squint your eyes and no one
dies or goes to jail,
past the silver bridge
oh the silver bridge
wearing nothing but a
one-sie and a veil.

Hoo-oo-oo
you're deep in a mine,
hoo-oo-oo
a calcium mine
o-o-oh.

Arm in arm we are the harmless
sociopaths. Oh
arm in arm with all the harmless
sociopaths

In the calcium mines buried
deep in your chest. Oh the
calcium mines buried
deep in your chest.

Hoo-oo-oo
you're deep in a mine,
Oh-no
a calcium mine
Oh-no.

So let's get out of here
past the atmosphere,
squint your eyes and no one
dies or goes to jail,
past the silver bridge
oh the silver bridge
wearing nothing but a
one-sie and a veil.

 

[ScarletBegonias]

These songs seem like they are for anti-social people in general, but I'll post them here since I think they could relate to pscyhopaths as well:

The Prodigy - "Firestarter"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw&feature=related

I'm the trouble starter, punking instigator.
I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated.
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
you're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.
I'm the bit*h you hated, filth infatuated.
Yeah, I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
you're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.
I'm the self-inflicted, punk detonator.
Yeah, I'm the one invented, twisted animator.
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
you're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.
starter... starter... starter...

The Prodigy - "Breathe"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmHDhAohJlQ&ob=av2n

Breathe with me

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game I'll test ya'
Psychosomatic addict insane!
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game I'll test ya'
Psycho-somatic addict insane!

Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim!
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale!

Come Breathe with me
Breathe with me
Breathe with me

I've found a list about insane, gross music, and so I don't know if a psychopath may listen those songs, but, maybe someone who has mental problems. I'm gonna put a link about supposedly music, that left me disgusted.

First Geza X, a weird guy from before

Here he made me laugh, still he's really weird.

But what's the weirdest of weirdest things of all, is this: Ritualistic School of Errors.

This obviously is not music but well, :O some like them at least in the past.

[ethnicsoup]

Here's a new one that's currently popular(kinda gives me the creeps):

Pumped Up Kicks


Robert's got a quick hand
He looked around the room but won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid
Yeah found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet with a box of fun things, I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you, hey

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
(x2)

Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, he's coming home late
and he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice
I've waited for a long time
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
(x2)


All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
(x3)


The repetitiveness of the song is what seems to drill it in your brain....
